Pelicans forward Anthony Davis is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Pacers, the team announced.

Davis is dealing with a sprained right shoulder, which caused him to miss Monday's loss to the Jazz. Center Alexis Ajinca is expected to replace Davis in the starting lineup if Davis is held out.

Meanwhile, Ryan Anderson has been ruled out of Wednesday's game. It will be the second straight game Anderson has missed while dealing with a right elbow sprain. Luke Babbitt is expected to see his role increase with Anderson sidelined.

Pelicans small forward Luke Babbitt, who sprained his knee Sunday against the Lakers, was upgraded to probable for Tuesday's game against the Knicks, reports NBA.com. Babbitt was inserted into the starting lineup a week ago.

Pelicans small forward Luke Babbitt is doubtful to return to Sunday's game against the Lakers due to a sprained knee, the team announced.

Babbitt drew the start Sunday and played 20 minutes before the injury, scoring six points on 2 of 4 shooting (all from three-point range) while picking up five rebounds. He'll have a day to rest before potentially returning to action Tuesday against the Knicks.
